1/72 North American B-25C-1 "ChatterBox"

[NOBI]

Hi there,

After a long break, I am excited to introduce a new subject. Please note that the test build may not be as neat as I would like, as it was a hurry constructed.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Doug for his invaluable assistance in completing this project. I truly appreciate his support.

If you'd like to support me, you can buy me a coffee at Thaipaperwork is Card model designer. Thank you so much for your generous support!

Depending on what other projects Nobi is wanting to line up, I am going to see if I can get a few more twin engine models after this one.

Dear Ryan,

I am planning to modify the B-25 to another version, such as the B, D, or J models. Please stay in touch for further updates on my progress.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could highlight the differences between each version.

Thank you very much in advance.

Looks very tidy. Will you be making landing gear?

I'll have to dig out my books and it looks like a few of my reference sites have disappeared. The B-25B was 10 inches longer, with a slightly slimmer fuselage profile if I remember correctly, but in 1/72 it isn't very noticeable. The B had different windows under the rear of the wing roots, and had a different exhaust stack arrangement. Several high-profile models such as the famous 1/48 "Accurate Miniatures" kits have gotten it wrong!

This is my website - it's a bit old, but the profiles here should still be reasonable accurate.

If you want me to get more down in the weeds, I can take some time in a week or two to dig up all my old books and references.

Dear all,

I am thrilled to announce that my first commercial kit, after a long period of inactivity, is now available for your support on my online store at https://thaipaperwork.wixsite.com/on...25c-chatterbox.

This model is a 1/72 scale American medium bomber, the B-25C, which received tremendous assistance from Doug in its completion. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to him once again.

I would also like to express my deepest appreciation for all the support shown for my work. If you believe this model is worthy of additional financial contribution, you can add more dollars to show your support when you checkout. Your contributions will not only enable me to continue designing but also help cover the expenses of my daily life.

Rest assured, there are more exciting models on the horizon. I promise to deliver them to you soon.

Hi all,
I just purchased a copy of "Chatter Box" this morning and I'm delighted that Nobi is
1. designing again, and 2. that he chose a B-25.
I really want to build this model, but there is a problem, there are no wing spars (parts 16 thru 19) in the kit, I have looked several times. As soon as this problem is corrected, Nobi will have designed another winner, which I hope will see many variations and repaints.
